Brazil supreme court finds that Eduardo Bolsonaro – who resides in the US – tried to get sanctions put on judges trying ex-president over coup plot
Brazil’s supreme court has sentenced Eduardo Bolsonaro to four years and two months in prison after finding him guilty of courting US interference in his father’s coup plot trial last year.
The office of Brazil’s prosecutor general had charged Eduardo Bolsonaro – who lives in the US – courting interference from the Trump administration to help Jair Bolsonaro’s case, by imposing sanctions on the court’s justices and tariffs on Brazilian goods.
His father, the former far-right president, is serving 27 years in prison for plotting a coup in 2022 after losing the elections to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
